Your ViewPoint Cloud site provides reporting and data to help you keep track of all monetary transactions related to permits, licenses, etc.  In order to maximize your visibility of the payments made in your community's platform, there are a few key pieces to consider during your configuration:

• All permit fees can include a Label and an Account Number. These are both optional, but are very helpful for any financial reporting:

• The Label serves as an easy way to identify the fee for both the applicant and the employee users. Some examples of labels are Permit Fee, Fixture Fee, and State Education Fee.

The Account Number is used to keep track of the specific accounts that the various fees should be routed to. The Account Number is only visible to employees, not the applicant or public users.

• Both the Label and Account Numbers are assigned when creating your fees. So, each fee that the applicant pays is subject to can have its own label and account number associated with it.
​

• There are several Payments Reports available that you can use to keep track of payments made on your ViewPoint Cloud site.  

• The Payments Reports include fields such as Applicant Name, Record Type, Fee Paid, Payment Method, etc and can also be further customized to include additional columns and filters, such as Record Types and form fields. They can also include the Account Numbers and Labels included that are associated with the fees.

• The Ledger Report is designed to help with reconciling fees.  Learn more about that report here.
